Hank Aaron won't witness Bonds break the record

Re: Hank Aaron won't witness Bonds break the record

Not not really but it does yours. If he is so guilty why is MLB still letting him play?

Because Greg Anderson is sitting in jail instead of testifying to the Grand Jury. Does this fact reassure you of Bonds' innocence?

Re: Hank Aaron won't witness Bonds break the record

The Bonds camp has yet to refute a single claim made in Game of Shadows.

The only arguments that they have made is a questioning of the author's motives but never the substance of the book.

And they haven't said it was true either, so what does that mean.

Now come on did you see the size of the ball parks Ruth had to hit in. if he was hitting today ball parks he would be killing the ball! Now one can argue the pitchers all better, but who. Jim you played with Ruth? What were the pitchers like? Also Jim your head is bigger today, we just didn't want to tell you.

Babe and Mickey were hung over half the time. Can you imagine what Mickey would have done if he hadn't tripped over that sprinkler. Drunk, not on roids like Barry. Pitchers better today? I don't think so. I see a TON of pitchers on these staff of today that aren't very good. (don't get me wrong, they are certainly talented men, but...)

There were great pitchers and players in my era, but like apples and oranges I suppose. You know, apples on beer, oranges on steroids.

There is the million dollar question Why? If he knows Bonds is innocent I can see it, but if he knows he is guilty why would he be spending time in Jail? Would you?

2) Just because the old staffs were 3 men staffs doesn't mean that they are inferior to modern 5 man rotations for a few reasons.

Well, also remember because of the limited rotations and the fewer amount of teams, pitcher/batter familiarity was very high.

I also think your vastly underrating the impact of fatigue on a pitcher, and bear in mind that after the "dead-ball era", the MLB made an attempt to increase offensive production.

If it wasn't true they would have sued for libel by now.

Wow, I just don't know what to say.

Geez louise Scott. That would be like Johnny Cochoran standing up in the trial and saying, "you're honor.....this man did it" (pointing squarely at the killer, only in public opinion, OJ). I don't believe you said that.

Actually, it does refute your claim. You said the MLB is only targeting Barry, but several players have been suspended since mandatory drug testing was put in place.

The fact that Barry is still playing only means he hasn't failed a test since the new policy's inception. We're talking about the events that transpired prior to all of that.

If he knows Bonds is innocent, you can understand why he's spending time in jail? Why wouldn't he, you know, just tell the Grand Jury the truth, that Barroid is innocent, and then go home?

One can say you can hit better drunk? lol But what ever. I will say one thing I remember hearing about during Double hitters, Mickey would go to the bar and get blasted and come back and hit 2 HR's. Damn maybe Beer or hard liquor make you a power hitter.

Perhaps he has a BIG paycheck waiting for him.

Scott, come on. What is your opinion? Do you think Bonds lied and has been taking steroids. If you tell me you never have an opinon on things then I will have the mods ban you from The Show forums.

I'm sorry, but in this case, the "innocent until proven guilty" clause, doesn't fly. The evidence against him is beyond overwhelming.

The cops did it. Snuck into his house in the middle of the night and injected the stuff right into his noggin.

No, but if you say so boy I am saying if Bonds was never found guilty of Riods then why wouldn't baseball celebrated it
